Web Technologies for Open Innovation

The spread of the open innovation model created new challenges for further implications of the Web in making the innovation happen. In this paper we present a research on the application of the Web technologies in the open innovation model. We analyze technologies for expert search, key words matching and social propagation that would enable more efficient creation of new solutions, as well as transfer of solutions between different sectors. In addition, we made a triangulation of different open innovation paradigms in the function of Web technologies that serve for their realization. By such means, we are offering a framework that can help in making decisions and in choosing Web technologies according to wanted paradigms in an Open Innovation process.
